Jan, many thanks for that 1901 info, that's brilliant. Although the address on the website is Liverpool Street, Hull there is a secondary address listed & that is Brunswick Ave, Hull, which matches the 1901 census address for the Manson family that you have found.

Nanna52, thanks for that, that's good to know, I'll get everything together & let them know.

Just to finish things up I read the Hull Daily News article mentioned in my OP again today & the name of one of the mourners caught my eye, he being 'Stoker Manson'. Frederick in his Naval records was a Stoker 1st class at the time of his father's funeral.

I think that we can call this one completed now. My thanks to all who have assisted with this, very much appreciated indeed.
